    Skaalen Home Is Destroyed By Fire 

      All Occupants Are Saved As Flames Burn 46 Year Old Structure to Ground   

    “A smoke-blackened shell is all that remains today of the Skaalen Home for the Aged, which Sunday morning was gutted by a fire which drove its 40 elderly occupants out into a chilly spring breeze.  No one was injured in the fire, and all the old people either walked or were carried to safety by spectators or members of the Stoughton fire department.  Several hundred people watched the spectacular fire. The fire, which according to J. Donald Larson, superintendent of the Skaalen Home and the Martin Luther Children’s Home, was started bygd sparks from the chimney, began on the roof, and, fanned by a sharp wind from the southeast, soon enveloped the whole roof, and within two hours had destroyed the entire building.
